Blizzard only hires the best talent in the world these days

Thats really depressing. I remember when I played Warcraft 3 for the first time and the CGI was nuts.

I still playing Warcraft 3, but Blizzard would never do a game like that again even if they tried. Require both qualify folks and people that do love gaming in their heart.
 
What annoys me isn't how shit it looks, it's that they let the person live. It's Warcraft. There are 1001 dangers without making another one for yourself.
 
That's just awful

There's only one version of WoW that matters

eh, D2R was a faithful remaster. honestly a 10/10 for me (D2 was perfect, and the remaster was a perfect remaster of a perfect game)

I think you're right that they could never make a new game like Warcraft 3, but D2R gave me some faith that they can at least put out a proper remaster

overall though Blizzard is a fucking disaster. despite D2 being one of my all time favorites, I put maybe 3 hours into D3 and never even touched D4

outside of perhaps some remasters of their older games, I have very little faith in them

World of warcraft peaked with wrath of the lich king and then its all been downhill from their. This literally looks like a garbage mod made by 1 person for crying out loud. At least have some damn pride in your work.

I watched that on Youtube with the reaction from asmon. Like many here I was a HUGE WoW addict for many years, my entire college days until I had to move out into the sticks. In the sticks I bought a dedicated t1 line that cost $360.00 per month just to play wow. 1.5 concurrent doesn't sound like much but it ran wow perfectly with very low latency. There was no starlink then. No other options. It was hughesnet, dialup, or a T1 line.

So all that to say that I truly did love wow. I played at a semi-high level for a time. It's sad to see this.

Nothing from a story telling perspective was ever nearly this shitty. Ever. WoW jumped the shark.

I would say "pour one out" but WoW has been a husk for a while now.

I do enjoy firing up a private server ever now and then....but this isn't the wow I knew or choose to remember.
 
I've thought long and hard about this video after viewing it 47 times. My thoughts are best summed up by this video (I hope you enjoy it):

 
Not sure what are the news here. Their real time cutscenes are that way.

What the fuck...

Blizzard used to produce cool shit like this:



By the way, this shit hits even harder in German. The German voice acting was not bad in WarCraft 3 in general:

Their cinematics are still there.

I might just be me, but this particular example was pretty "meh". But yeah, the CGI looks nice.

Check this shit out, tho:
 
I guess girl dorks would like this shit, eh?

But what is WoW's core audience these days?

She was, you even get a nice long, if optional, lecture about She dun be strong independant womanz who only needs one arm when an NPC blacksmith offers to make her a new arm.
 
Can they do better than this without taking up a shit ton of hard drive space? What is the wow install size now? 3 TB?

It's an in-game cinematic using entirely in-game assets for a brief storyline introduced in a minor patch.





Here's just a few of the cutscenes outside of the big high-budget cinematics used to promote the game in the current expansion. As you can see, way more detail. Proper lip syncing. Improved assets.

The amount of effort put into cutscenes is pretty much determined by what the devs feel is needed for a scene and/or how much time they can afford. Also, whether or not your character might appear.

Cutscenes like the one in the OP are my least favorite, for sure. And that scene in particular deserved more work considering the very beginning of that storyline had this cutscene:



The cutscene in the OP is just an easy punching bag.

As far as the character herself, Faerin Lothar? Yeah. Not at all a fan. A black disabled woman (missing an arm) who is always righteous and helps one of the main characters, Anduin Wrynn, overcome his trauma despite him having WAY more life experience than her.

They also made sure to make her a descendant of one of the greatest human characters in the history of WoW, Anduin Lothar. In an ass-pull storyline where a massive fleet of Arathi, THE original human kingdom that splintered into 7 separate states, set sail many years ago, got lost at sea, conquered an entire unknown continent on the other side of the world, and yet everyone just miraculously forgot that happened or didn't know about it.

Though I will say that despite this particular storyline, they've not gone nearly as overboard in The War Within as they did in Dragonflight with the woke shit. Where you met two gay dragonkin who are a couple, two gay centaur who like each other, two lesbians who like each other, a centaur that wants to fuck a dryad (two very different species), and they made the ability for dragons to take on a chosen mortal form as a kind of allegory for transgenderism.
 
The fact this got approved tells me that artists were given zero time to work on this (most likely a week or less), or the people at the supervisor level are just idiots.

So these characters were just not worth the effort.
 
For the most part from what I've been reading the expansions were doing rather well. Still, what a shit in game cut scene. There's other stuff that's certainly better.
 
I play wow weekly. That is just a shity half patch in-game cutscene. The art is still pretty good. Now the stupid one armed annoying paladin is another story. The writers are on a DEI kick and all about the hugs not war bs.

The thing about these approachs is that you can clearly notice the self inserted characters and self inserted political ideas.
And this one is totally made out of a Karen person, since this generation seems to be like full of them.
